I've always wondered if the Ministry didn't have some rule or regulation governing what you could or couldn't "draw up".  If any witch or wizzard could just create whatever he or she wanted, I would imagine it would lead to a very corrupt and immoral group of people.  The Ministry seems to have rules regarding just about everything else.

Also, I would think that you couldn't just create something out of thin air.  All matter has to come from someplace.  For Molly to create galleons, she'd have to have something to start with - back to the whole Alchemy thing...although why she couldn't use some magic to alter Ron's dress robes is beyond me.  I'm sure she could have done a much better job taking the lace off than he did - of course, she's also the one that keeps insisting that he wear maroon...
